Literacy in English Part 1

Students will be directed into this class based on their overall performance in Year 10 or on literacy needs during the year.

Course Outline:

This course designed to support students who need to build their literacy. Students will learn how to solve problems and work co-operatively through a range of projects. Each term has a project focus which allows students to create, view and explore a range of texts. Students will be assessed internally throughout their different project work to form the Literacy Unit Standard Package. There will be an exit and entry point for this course at the semester changeover. Students need to pass all three unit standards to gain Level 1 literacy. This course continues into semester two, to make it a full year course.
